How to Enable and Customise AssistiveTouch on iOS Devices?

In this article, I am going to show you how to enable and customise AssistiveTouch on iOS devices running iOS 9 or later. AssistiveTouch with many new and Previous features are updated in ios 9, AssistiveTouchwas on IOS 6, 7 and 8 also but on that iOS version, we were just able to enable and disable assistive touch. But in IOS, 9 apple works a little more on assistive touch and added a new feature in assistive touch, that now we can customise assistive touch also and manage that as you like, we can even  just have 1 icon. For example, your home doesn’t work properly, you can just add home icon assistive touch.

What’s Assistive Touch?

Assistive touch helps you to use a button without pushing the button physically. Well, a question will come to your mind if we can use the button physically and it’s created for that, so why we use Assistive Touch while we have the button physically.

The answer is this, assistive touch is for those people that, they didn’t use their iDevices is the right way, and they have problems with their buttons, so they aren’t able to use their buttons and they can replace it with assistive touch. because they are unable to repair it or fix it, yeah they can contact to the apple stores they may repair it for half of your device rate. If you don’t want to repair it, buy a new one or follow us to use assistive touch.

As apple define, this”AssistiveTouch allows you to use your iPhone if you have difficulty touching the screen  or if you require an adaptive accessory”.
